Its Clinton's fault anyway.

These people are like bad pennies, aren't they? When I think of Gorelick being on this commission, I'm reminded of Colin Ferguson cross-examining his victims.

"So, then what happened?"

"Well, then YOU approached me and threatened me with YOUR pistol!"

"the 9/11 Commission looked into the matter during its investigation into government missteps leading to the attacks and chose not to include it in the final report"



That's because Jamie Gorelick was on the Commission and not a WITNESS UNDER OATH!!! She is THE PERSON who wrote the "MEMO" to keep agencies from SHARING INFORMATION!!!

I don't know who the Commission thinks it's fooling by trying to pretend they didn't know any of this. What a bunch of liars!

Anyone who was involved with the Clinton administration should be IN JAIL! How can ANYONE even THINK of electing HILLARY CLINTON as president?!!!

There is one member of the 9/11 Commission who does NOT want this subjecgt pursued. Before she was a Commission member, Jamie Gorelick was a Deputy Attorney General under AG Janet Reno. Jamie got that appointment because Hillary Clinton wanted her in there.

Gorelick wrote the "wall of separation" memo that kept military intelligence agencies from talking to FBI officials. Her memo was directed at the Director of the FBI and told him and his agency what they could not do.

In short, Gorelick's memo contributed to the bad result in this situation, and presumably others. She should never have been a member of the Commission. Instead, she should have been sworn as a witness and cross-examined under oath.

She is why the Commission didn't deal with this subject in its report. And she definitely doesn't want an investigation that will find her fingerprints on this failure of intelligence about Mohammed Atta.

For goodness sake, don't ever think the 9-ll Commission will die a natural death. Not as long as there's a camera rolling, not as long as the members keep fame, glory, and CYA "I told you so", as their top priorities.


Just for the record, the following CBS News report helped me understand this "what they knew and when they knew it" crap shoot, a little better:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/08/09/terror/main769440_page2.shtml


excerpt: "...Despite the conflict over who knew about Atta and when, (CBS News Correspondent Wyatt) ) Andrews reports that most experts say that this kind of information would be shared today. Under the 9/11 intelligence reforms, Pentagon agents are now allowed to tip off the FBI to suspected terrorists.

The Justice Department inspector general said in a report released in June that the FBI missed at least five opportunities before the Sept. 11 attacks to piece together vital intelligence information about the terrorists. Inspector General Glenn Fine called it “a significant failure” that hindered the FBI's chances of preventing the attacks."

Now they will spin it as some clumsy mistake and the media will not question Gorelick's role in forbidding agencys from sharing information about terrorists. If there was a rumor that Bolton got a parking ticket 10 years ago the media would be very inquisitive and the NYT would run a 10-part investigative article about it. The Clinton administration made policies that protected terrorists and contributed to 9/11 and the mainstream media will show no curiosity about this or about the 911 Commission covering it up.

The Commission is going to have to re-constitute itself so it can cover up this latest embarrassment. Gorelick knows that all roads lead back to her...

Lee Hamilton wants to get back in the spotlight. There was ZERO chance that he or his feckless commission was going to admit anything implicating Bill Clinton's treasonous administration with Jamie Gorelick on the commission. She is an expert at putting up firewalls for Clinton, after all. Not one more dime should be wasted on this know-nothing/see-nothing commission.

And let's make sure that the timing of the Able Danger information that was ignored was 1999 and 2000. During Clinton's term.

Members of the commission that uncovered the government's failures to share intelligence among agencies before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks want to know whether U.S. defense intelligence officials knew for more than a year that four of the hijackers were part of an al-Qaida cell but failed to tell law enforcement. ... "The 9/11 commission did not learn of any U.S. government knowledge prior to 9/11 of surveillance of Mohammed Atta or of his cell," said Hamilton, a former Democratic congressman from Indiana. "Had we learned of it obviously it would've been a major focus of our investigation."

[]

But Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said the 9/11 Commission looked into the matter during its investigation into government missteps leading to the attacks and chose not to include it in the final report.

Because the Commission was designed to do nothing but knock Bush before the 2004 elections. They deliberately left this info out. The denials by Hamiliton et al are sick. (IMO).
